I have to describe the difference between Red light and green light seen through a double slit and a single slit. Can anyone help me please?

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the differences in interference patterns produced by red light and green light when passed through single and double slits. Red light, with a longer wavelength, creates wider interference fringes compared to green light, which has a shorter wavelength and produces narrower fringes. The interference pattern for a single slit results in a central maximum with diminishing side maxima, while the double slit pattern exhibits multiple bright and dark fringes due to constructive and destructive interference. Understanding these patterns is crucial for lab descriptions and experiments related to wave optics.
